Once more returning to the present, Ed and the others finally exited the barracks which were looking less than stellar at the moment. The area surrounding the discount lab was greatly destroyed. It was as if an earthquake had hit, which wasn't wrong in its entirety.
Having only briefly taken in this surrounding, Ed led out the orcs while holding some things into consideration.
[Mana Manipulation has met the conditions to advance, Advance Mana Manipulation Skill? Y/N]
The advancement message for mana manipulation skill continued to pop up with an increasingly large interval. That meant that Ed could ignore it forever and one day it would only appear before him after a year but he had no interest in doing that. He just wanted more options.
'System, how does this work?' Ed had never said no before, but that was also probably why he never received any other options. He might be only meeting the basic conditions for advancement but missing the higher picture.
